ECONOMY

Rillo
is, or maybe was, fundamentally an agricultural village, its
income comes from wheat, sunflower, barley or livestock. The
current production may be higher than the previously, but
this has nothing in common with what the old people from
Rillo remember.

The fact
is that Rillo, just like the rest of Spain, does not have an
agrarian economy any longer. The money to build the new
houses that have appeared in Rillo in recent years does not
come from agriculture, but from the people living in Madrid,
Barcelona and Guadalajara, and the image of the old village
has changed. The reason? tourism in August when everybody
goes there. And, we can’t forget public money from
Guadalajara (Diputación Provincial), Toledo (Junta de
Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha) and Madrid
(Administración Central) among other places.

HISTORY

Rillo is
a village built up over traditional settlements of earlier
civilizations. Near the village, following the Old stream,
we can find the remains of a celtic settlement, where some
pottery and metallic objects were found, proving it
existenced several centuries before Christ.Also the signs of old fortifications lead old
chroniclers to believe that there might have been a strong
castle. It seems that this tradition was always firmly
followed, we know that until the XVI century and even later,
the Moors from Molina went in pilgrimage to Rillo because
they believed that in those ruins were the foundations of
their old mosque.
